Re-vamped National Food Security Mission (NFSM)
Operational Guidelines (Foodgrain Crops)
1. Introduction
1.1 The National Development Council (NDC) in its 53rd meeting held on 29th
May, 2007 adopted a resolution to launch a Food Security Mission comprising rice,
wheat and pulses to increase the annual production of rice by 10 million tonnes,
wheat by 8 million tonnes and pulses by 2 million tonnes by the end of the Eleventh
Plan (2011-12). Accordingly, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, 'National Food
Security Mission' (NFSM), was launched in October 2007. The Mission met with an
overwhelming success and achieved the targeted additional production of rice,
wheat and pulses. The Mission continued during 12th Five Year Plan with new
targets of additional production of food grains of 25 million tonnes of food grains
comprising of 10 million tonnes rice, 8 million tonnes of wheat, 4 million tonnes of
pulses and 3 million tonnes of coarse cereals by the end of 12th Five Year Plan.
Considering the experience and feedback received from the States major changes
were made in approach, norms of financial assistance and programme
implementation strategy which are reflected in the revised operational guidelines.
Based on past experience and performance of 12th Plan, it has been decided to
continue the programme beyond 12th plan i.e. 2017-18 to 2019-20, which is co-
terminus with Fourteenth Finance Commission (FFC) period with new targets to
achieve 13 million tonnes of additional foodgrains production comprising of Rice – 5
million tonnes, Wheat- 3 million tonnes, Pulses- 3 million tonnes and Coarse
Cereals- 2 million tonnes by 2019-20.
1.2 The National Food Security Mission (NFSM), during the 12th Five Year Plan,
had five components (i) NFSM- Rice; (ii) NFSM-Wheat; (iii) NFSM-Pulses; (iv) NFSM-
Coarse Cereals; and (v) NFSM-Commercial Crops. During 2017-18, the programme
was implemented with components/interventions/cost norms/pattern of assistance
of 12th plan. On the basis of EFC recommendations which was held on 29.11.2017,
from the years 2018-19 and 2019-20, NMOOP and Seed Village Programme are now
a part of NFSM and thus NFSM will have eight components viz. (i) NFSM- Rice; (ii)
NFSM-Wheat; (iii) NFSM-Pulses; (iv) NFSM-Coarse Cereals (Maize, Barley), (v)
NFSM-Sub Mission on Nutri Cereals; (vi) NFSM-Commercial Crops; (vii) NFSM-
Oilseeds and Oilpalm; and (viii) NFSM-Seed Village Programme. These Operational
Guidelines are for NFSM-Foodgrains, Commercial Crops, Oilseeds and Oilpalm,
Seed Village Programme and Sub Mission on Nutri -cereals.
2 | P a g e
2. Objectives
2.1 Increasing production of rice, wheat, pulses, coarse cereals (Maize and
Barley) and Nutri-Cereals through area expansion and productivity enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified districts of the country;
2.2 Restoring soil fertility and productivity at the individual farm level; and 2.3 Enhancing farm level economy (i.e. farm profits) to restore confidence
amongst the farmers.
3. Strategy
To achieve the above objectives, the Mission would adopt following strategies:
i. Focus on low productivity and high potential districts including
cultivation of food grain crops in rain fed areas.
ii. Implementation of cropping system centric interventions in a Mission
mode approach through active engagement of all the stakeholders at
various levels.
iii. Agro-climatic zone wise planning and cluster approach for crop
productivity enhancement.
iv. Focus on pulse production through utilization of rice fallow, rice bunds
and intercropping of pulses with coarse cereals, oilseeds and
commercial crops (sugarcane, cotton, jute).
v. Promotion and extension of improved technologies i.e., seed,
integrated nutrient management (INM) including micronutrients, soil
amendments, integrated pest management (IPM), input use efficiency
and resource conservation technologies along with capacity building of
the farmers/extension functionaries.
vi. Close monitoring of flow of funds to ensure timely reach of
interventions to the target beneficiaries.
vii. Integration of various interventions and targets with the district plan of
each identified district.
viii. Constant monitoring and periodic evaluation by the implementing
agencies for assessing the impact of the interventions for a result
oriented approach.

4.2.2 During 11th Plan State Governments nominated/created a suitable
autonomous agency registered under the Societies Registration Act for
implementing the Mission at the State and district levels. However, the mission has
been implemented through State Government at district level in some of the states
during 12th Plan. Such an agency could be the State Agricultural Management &
Extension Training Institute (SAMETI) at the State Level and the Agricultural
Technology Management Agency (ATMA) at the district level. Some States directly
transfer the funds through treasury to district level (Joint Director/Deputy Director,
Agriculture or equivalent). The agency thus nominated will implement the Mission's
programme in the State beyond 12th Plan (2017-18 to 2019-20). The State
Government may consider continuation of the same system.
4.2.3 Separate accounts for the scheme would be maintained by the State through
Public Financial Management System (PFMS), which is mandatory from April 2018.
Therefore a bank account at State level has to be opened and fund to the District
level Offices/Agencies has to be transferred as per the Account Code prescribed by
the State Food Security Mission Executive Committee (SFSMEC). The annual
accounts would be duly audited by a Chartered Accountant/Accountant General of
the State every year.
4.2.4 The Direct Benefit transfer (DBT) would be implemented to transfer the funds
to identified beneficiaries for the specified interventions of NFSM. The details of data
bank related to beneficiaries would be up loaded to MIS of NFSM by the State

14 | P a g e
12. Criteria for Identification of Areas and Beneficiaries
12.1 In accordance with the decision of the Government of India regarding
implementation of Special Component Plan (SCP) for Scheduled Castes and Tribal
Sub-Plan (TSP) for Scheduled Tribes, 16.6% of the total allocation for SCP and 8.6%
for TSP will be earmarked. However, States will be allowed to make allocation to
SC/ST farmers proportionate to their population in the States/districts. The data
on beneficiares classes will be generated and maintained by the State for reporting
at National Level.
12.2 At least 33% allocation of the fund is to be made for small and marginal
farmers.
12.3 At least 30% allocation of the fund is to be made for women farmers.
12.4 All the farmers are entitled to avail the assistance for various components of

12.5 A district level Seed Committee will be constituted by the Chairman of State
Food Security Mission-Executive Committee (SFSM-EC) to verify the list of
beneficiaries for seeds, its indent and the ultimate distribution to end users. In
case the subsidy on seed is administered at source, the list of beneficiaries may be
approved post-facto subject to random verification.
12.6 Zonal research stations of SAUs, KVKs, ATMA, reputed NGOs and other line
departments will be actively involved in planning and execution of demonstrations,
training of farmers and evaluation. The Project Management Team at the district
level will help in developing synergy among research institutes and various line
departments to get the desired output.
13. Position of Ongoing Schemes
13.1 The programmes listed below now stand discontinued and merged with
NFSM:
(a) National Mission on Oilseeds and Oilpalm (NMOOP);
(b) Seed Village Programme Component of Sub-Mission on Seed and planting
materials; and
(c) Nutri-Cereals (Millets) are included in existing NFSM-Coarse Cereals and
thus, NFSM-Coarse Cereals is divided into two parts i.e. NFSM-Coarse
Cereals(Maize & Barley) and Sub-Mission on Nutri-Cereals.
15 | P a g e
14. Interventions
Interventions under the four components (Rice, Wheat, Pulses and Coarse
Cereals) of NFSM are given below whereas norms of financial assistance are
summarized in Annexure-V.
14.1 Accelerated Crop Production Programme (ACPP)
Large blocks of crop area will be taken up for demonstration of production and
protection technologies in a cropping system based mode. A cafeteria of crop specific
interventions (bio-fertilizers, nutrients, plant protection chemicals, weedicides, bee
keeping in Arhar, city compost, promotion of Arhar on rice bunds, promotion of
plantation crops on bunds, etc.) has been illustrated (Annexure-VI) to enable the
states to choose interventions relevant to that particular Agro-climatic zone for
demonstrations.
14.1.1 Demonstrations
i. Field demonstrations of improved package of practices will be conducted
on cropping system as well as on sole crop.
ii. The cropping system based approach, which has been included under
NFSM, entails that demonstrations are done in cropping sequence on the
same plot of land. States should conduct at least 30% demonstrations
under cropping system based approach.
iii. Area of operation: The demonstrations will be conducted in a contiguous
block by dividing the fields into two blocks, one for improved practices and
the other for farmer's practices in a cluster of 100 ha or more. Size of
cluster for hilly States and north-eastern States will be restricted to10 ha.
However, the size of compact demonstrations for pulses is proposed
to be reduced to 20 ha in those districts where crop area is less than
10000 ha even in general States and non-traditional areas. The lowest
productivity areas in selected districts should be given priority.
Demonstrations should be evenly distributed within and among selected
clusters.
iv. All farmers in a cluster should be included in a demonstration. For each
farmer, at least 0.4 ha area will also be included in demonstration.
v. Selection of beneficiary Farmers: Gram Panchayat should be involved in
selection of beneficiary farmers. Only the farmers willing to cooperate and
contribute some of the resources in addition to incentives for
demonstration should be selected. Selection of beneficiaries should be
16 | P a g e
done adopting participatory approach by holding meetings in the village by
explaining the objectives of the demonstrations and role and
responsibilities including expectations from the participating farmers. The
beneficiaries should also be selected for oilseed & pulses cultivation in the
areas where potential of irrigation has been created under Pradhan Mantri
Krishi Sichayee Yojna (PMKSY).
vi. Selection of Site: Demonstration site should be easily accessible for the
farmers and the extension workers. It should not be on an isolated field.
The selected site should be the representative of soil type and soil fertility
status of the area.
vii. Soil Analysis: As far as possible soil fertility status of the selected field
should be known well in advance for deciding the use of fertilizer and soil
ameliorants on the basis of soil health cards.
viii. Identification of Technologies to be demonstrated: The improved
practices for the demonstration plots should be identified in consultation
with SAU/Regional Research Stations/KVKs/ICAR research centres
located in the area. However, the most critical inputs should be given top
priority. For example correction of soil acidity through liming should be
done while conducting a demonstration on improved package on acid
soils. The varieties to be included in the package should preferably be new
varieties.
ix. Development of package of inputs to be distributed: Once the
technologies are identified, a package of inputs including micronutrients
and bio-fertilizers should be finalized as to which inputs are to be provided
for the conduct of demonstrations. Similarly the inputs to be contributed
by the beneficiary farmers (if required) may also be assessed.
x. Distribution of demonstration kits and training of participating
farmers: An orientation training programme should be organized to brief
the beneficiary farmers about the procedure to be followed for conducting
demonstrations. Farmers should be informed about the critical operations
for the demonstrations. The demonstration kits may be distributed to the
farmers during the training programme. The demonstrations should be
conducted by extension functionaries of the State Department of
Agriculture under the supervision of District Consultant/District level
officers.
17 | P a g e
xi. Monitoring: District Consultants/Technical Assistants of NFSM should
monitor the conduct of demonstrations throughout the cropping season and should report the outcome in prescribed format to the district level PMT senior officers of the Department. The extension functionaries should
visit the demonstration plots and arrange need based visits of scientists.
xii. Display Board: The display board should contain information on the critical inputs used and the interventions which are being demonstrated. A
display board containing the following information should be installed at the demonstration plot:
a) Number of farmers in cluster b) Name of Village
c) Name of crop variety/ hybrid d) Type of demonstration
e) Fertilizers applied f) Bio-fertilizers applied g) Micronutrient applied
h) Date of Sowing/Transplanting i) Seed Rate and Spacing j) Any other critical input used
k) Mobile number of District Consultant/ Technical Assistant
xiii. State should include more than one improved variety/hybrid in one cluster demonstration.
xiv. Field day: A field day should be organized during reproductive phase of the crop preferably at grain filling stage. The participation of scientists from SAUs/KVKs should be ensured for critical observations and
solutions of problems. Some relevant extension literature like leaflets, pamphlets etc should also be made available to the participating farmers.
xv. Reporting of the Results: The results of the demonstrations should be compiled at block, district and State level. At State level, the results of the demonstrations should be compiled in the form of document. The state
should analyze the contribution of various interventions undertaken under cluster demonstrations and up-scaling of particular intervention in
succeeding years. Analysis should also have information on farmers practice and effect of demonstration with respect to yield gain and different parameters.
xvi. Front Line Demonstration: Front Line Demonstration (FLD) is a form of adaptive research on the latest notified/released varieties/technologies which is demonstrated by ICAR/SAUs system on the selected farmer’s
field. The FLDs for rice, wheat, pulses, coarse cereals and nutri-cereals are the approved components of NFSM for which 5% of the amount of
18 | P a g e
ACPP is available. ICAR/SAUs may indicate the Nodal Institutes for
respective crops to coordinate the implementation of FLDs.
14.1.2 Improved Package of Practices - Rice and Rice-based cropping systems
Rice
There will be demonstrations on system of rice intensification, direct seeded
rice, hybrid rice technology, stress tolerant varieties and improved package of
practices (variety, nutrient management, integrated pest management etc).

(c) wheat –kharif pulses
(d) wheat-coarse cereals/nutri-cereals( maize, bajra)
Pulses
Demonstrations will be conducted on pulse-crop-based cropping system and
pulses as intercrops with commercial crops (sugarcane, cotton etc.), oilseeds
(soybean, groundnut etc.) and coarse cereals. SAU/ICAR/KVKs may be approached
for recommended intercropping systems and associated package of practices.
In addition to state government, the KVKs spread throughout the country will
also conduct demonstrations on pulses crops.
19 | P a g e
Coarse Cereals/Nutri-Cereals
Demonstrations will be on coarse cereals/ nutri-cereals crops and coarse
cereal based cropping- systems. The crops involved are maize, sorghum, barley,
pearl millet, finger millet and small millets (Kodo, Barnyard, Foxtail, Proso and
Little millet (Kutki). Intercropping systems such as maize + urd/ moong/
pigeonpea, sorghum + kharif pulses, pearl millet + urd/ moong/ pigeonpea/
mothbean/ any other pulse should be selected depending on the area.
Cost Norms of Demonstration
The incentives of demonstration for one ha area for sole crop (excluding
coarse cereals) will Rs 9000/- and Rs. 15000/-for a cropping sequence. For coarse
cereals, the incentive of demonstration for one ha area will be Rs. 6000/-. The
incentives of demonstration includes organization of field day, distribution of
publicity material and monitoring visit of scientists/GOI/State/officials @Rs. 250,
Rs. 250 and Rs. 300, respectively. Illustrative lists of interventions that can be
taken up within the amount fixed for demonstrations are given in Annexure-V. In
the annual Action Plan, State Government will clearly specify the interventions
proposed to be demonstrated. The interventions selected should be based on the
recommendations made by SAU/Zonal Research Station for the Agro-climatic Zone
concerned. Beneficiary farmers should be asked to arrange recommended quantity
of chemical fertilizers. Additional cost, if any should be borne by the farmer. For an
individual farmer, the area under demonstration should not exceed 2 ha.

Government to such agency, within 20% of State’s Seed distribution target in
identified NFSM districts on the basis of verification by Districts/States and
adjusted from the State’s overall allocation under seed distribution component.
Government of India will only indicate the targets to the Central Seed Agencies as
per respective Action Plans of the States. The incentives on certified seed have been
fixed to absorb price escalation and other changes. The State should strive to
supply seeds at lowest prices as possible so that farmers get cheaper quality seeds.
14.2.2 (a) Seed Minikit Distribution of Pulses:
In order to promote quick spread of new varieties of pulses, minikits of pulses
seed varieties not older than 10 years will be provided free of cost to farmers.

seed produced from the farmers and issue a certificate to this effect. The subsidy
will be given to central seed agencies like NSC, KRIBHCO, IFFDC, NAFED, HIL etc
directly and to state seed corporations and private seed companies through State
Governments. The central seed agencies will submit action plan for approval of
NFSM-EC. In case central/state seed producing agencies produce seed on their
own farm, the incentive @ Rs 50 per kg will be provided to them only when seed
produced for individual pulse crop is higher by 10 % of its maximum production
during last 3 years. In this regard, a certificate is to be provided that seed is
certified by Seed Certification Agency.
14.2.3 Nutrient management / soil ameliorants
i. This component will be implemented by the State Department of Agriculture.
The District Food Security Mission-Executive Committee (DFSM-EC) will
finalize the list of beneficiaries in consultation with village panchayat.
ii. The micronutrients/lime/gypsum or other sulphur containing fertilizers such
as phospho-gypsum/ bentonite sulphur will be applied as basal/foliar
application based on the recommendations of ICAR/SAUs concerned. A

chemicals, bio-pesticides and weedicides in the identified districts. The
District Food Security Mission-Executive Committee (DFSM-EC) will finalize
the list of beneficiaries in consultation with village panchayat.
ii. A farmer will be given assistance for a maximum of 2 ha area for the target
crop.
23 | P a g e
14.2.5 Flexi Interventions:
Twenty five percent (25%) of the approved outlays will be allocated to Flexi
Interventions covering farm implements/machines, capacity building of farmers,
water carrying pipes, post harvest technologies like Dal Mill/de-stoning/grading,
etc and other location specific interventions which are important for productivity
enhancement and sustainability. Farm machineries included under NFSM and Sub
Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) will continue to be covered under
NFSM as per SMAM norms of assistance. Any revision in the norms of assistance
under SMAM will also be applicable under NFSM. The States to ensure that the cost
of machine/equipement/activities are justified and the subsidy should not be more
than 50% of the actual cost. The States may, however, top up subsidy from own
resources beyond 50%, if needed, as no central fund is allocated for this purpose.
a. Farm Mechanization
i. Mechanization will help in timely completion of field operations, improving
the efficacy of field operations, increasing cropping intensity and economize
the cost of cultivation.
ii. Weeds pose a major problem in rice; especially those planted with SRI
technique/Direct Seeded Rice. Mechanical control of weeds along with
chemicals is an effective option.
iii. The time available for sowing of wheat following rice is limited particularly in
rainfed/partially irrigated areas. The delayed sowing of wheat leads to
significant reduction in its yield. Use of seed drills for planting
wheat/pulses/coarse cereals enables farmers to cover large area in a short
period and utilization of residual soil moisture. Besides, seed drill sowing
leads to uniform crop stand and row spacing which require less quantity of
seed and facilitates inter-culture operations.
iv. Tractor drawn rotavator or turbo seeder pulverizes the soil, chops and mixes
crop residues in the soil.
v. Farm implements and pattern of assistance to be provided are given in
Annexure-V.
vi. The farm implements, particularly rotavator, turbo seeder, seed drill, multi
crop planter and multi crop harvester should conform to ISI standards or
certified by Farm Machinery Training & Testing Institutes of Government
of India, CIAE, Bhopal or SAUs.
24 | P a g e
vii. SFSM-EC would nominate the agency and fix the cost of the farm implements
for supplying the same to the selected farmers.
viii. 50% of the farmers selected for assistance for Farm Mechanization shall be
those who have also been selected for cluster demonstrations.
ix. The list of beneficiaries would be prepared by the District Agriculture Officer
in consultation with the ATMA Zilla Parishad wherever needed and approved
by the District Food Security Mission-Executive Committee (DFSM-EC). Cost
of the machine, inclusive of the admissible subsidy and the farmers share,
would be reimbursed to the agency fixed by the SFSM-EC for supplying the
machines to the selected beneficiaries.
x. CIAE, Bhopal/SAUs would be the nodal institute for technical support for
farm machine/equipments technology use.
b. Training
It has been observed that institutional strengthening and capacity building of
human resource, particularly, in the context of small and marginal farmers, oral
lessees, tenant farmers in the remote areas and high risk yet strategic crops like
pulses and coarse cereals and nutri-cereals are required to sustain the new
initiatives in long run.
Training of trainers/farmers plays crucial role in speedy dissemination of improved
crop production practices. Since the Mission has adopted cropping system-based
approach, it is proposed to organize four sessions of each training. One at the
beginning of kharif and rabi season, one each during kharif and rabi season. The
training will be imparted by crop/subject matter specialists of ICAR
institutes/SAUs/KVKs and will involve crop management (production and plant

d. Local Initiatives
(i) To support important location specific interventions, which are not covered
under the normal activities of the Mission but can help in boosting the
production and productivity of rice, wheat, pulses and coarse cereals, States
will be provided financial assistance. Augmentation of water resources,
development of godowns for safe storage of critical inputs, machines for post-
harvest processing like graders, dehusking machines etc are some examples.
Besides, storage bags prepared by ICRISAT for grains may also be taken up
under Local Initiatives.
(ii) The interventions will be selected in consultation with Zilla Parishad.
(iii) The assistance will be limited to 5% of the total flexi items made to the State.
Assistance would be limited to 50% of the cost of each intervention.
(iv) The interventions proposed would be evaluated by a team of experts at the
state level and will be cleared by SFSM-EC for releasing the funds to the
implementing agency at the district level.
14.3 Commercial Crop-based cropping systems: The cropping system approach
and inter-cropping of pulses or recommended inter-crop with commercial crops
especially cotton, jute and sugarcane leads to improved land use efficiency and
better use of land and water resources. The main objectives of including commercial
crop based cropping systems are i) to utilize inter-row space of commercial Crops
for growing intercrops particularly foodgrains/oilseeds; ii) to generate higher net
returns and cultivable land utilization index as compared to mono-cropping; iii) to
improve soil fertility status; iv) to facilitate IPM strategies and reduce pest incidence
through cropping system approach; v) to demonstrate latest technologies of
intercropping, seed production; and vi) to implement need based interventions in
cotton, jute and sugarcane crops. The annual action plans would be prepared by
the State Governments in consultation with the respective Crop Development
Directorate and would be approved by the NFSMEC. The activities would be
implemented by the States in close coordination with the Crop Development
Directorates.
14.4 Research Support:
14.4.1 In order to facilitate the conduct of strategic adaptive research,
address various research issues and gaps of potential yield and yield realized at
farmers’ field of food crops, research projects supported and approved during the
12th Plan will be continued upto 2019-20. SAUs, National and International
research organizations may be supported for research proposals and themes are
given below.
26 | P a g e
(i) Conservation of natural resources (land, water) and their efficient use.
(ii) Integrated nutrient management.
(iii) Integrated disease and pest management.
(iv) Modification/refinements in farm machines/tools for various soils
types/cropping systems.
(v) Upscaling of improved crop varieties/hybrids in NFSM adopted
states/agro-climatic zones under water/thermal stress conditions.
(vi) Nutrient management in acidic/alkaline/sodic soils.
(vii) Crop-husbandry.
(viii) Input use efficiency.
(ix) Rain-water management in kharif pulses.
(x) Refinement of relay cropping systems.
(xi) Agronomic practices for intercropping systems involving pulses.
(xii) Quality seed storages in the humid and hot climatic conditions-coastal
areas.
(xiii) Value addition in case of millets, nutri cereals and pulses
(xiv) Precision farming -nutrient manager and crop manager
(xv) Any other innovative approach for enhancement of crop productivity.
14.4.2 Training of extension functionaries: In order to propagate latest crop
specific technologies amongst Central and State functionaries who are involved in
implementation of NFSM programme, the State Agricultural Universities( SAUs),
National and International research organizations would be assisted to organise crop
specific trainings within the country.
14.5 Other Initiatives
(i) Specialized projects for high productivity areas: For sustainability of
the high productivity areas, special projects such as reclamation of problematic
soils, development of water-logged areas and mitigation of adverse effect of
climate change would be funded under the Mission for the promotion of NFSM
crops of the district. States may submit project proposals relating to these areas
provided that these areas are not covered under regular development schemes.
The proposals vetted by the SFSMEC would be accorded approval by NFSMEC on
case to case basis. The unit cost of these project proposals would be limited to
Rs.50,000 per ha including farmers share of 25%. The total cost of each project
proposal should not exceed Rs.10 crore and the project proposal should be for
areas covered under NFSM. The suggestive interventions for the development of
such area as:
a. Reclamation of problematic soils: i) The surveys and project preparation; ii)
Land development activities; iii) Rate of application of amendments and cost
(gypsum, phospho-gypsum, pyrites etc) based on severity of alkalinity/salinity
27 | P a g e
etc; iv) Crops tolerant to alkalinity/salinity/acidity etc. adapting the
reclamation packages etc. The reclaimed soil will be used for NFSM-Crops like
Rice, Wheat, Pulses, Coarse cereals, Nutri-Cereals, Oilseeds & Cotton etc.
b. Development of water-logged areas: i) The surveys for the project preparation;
ii) Construction of field/community ditches linking to natural drains or
pumping of the excess water to a natural drainage lines and related activities;
iii) Evaluation of crops tolerant to water-logging etc.
c. Projects to combat the effect of climate change: The projects aimed at
mitigating adverse effect of climate change in high productivity areas would
qualify for the financial support. The demonstration of heat tolerant varieties,
promotion of micro-irrigation system (drip and sprinkler) for protective
irrigation etc. would be focused. The agro-forestry components may also
conveyed to create sink for carbon sequestration.
(ii) Support to institutes/organizations including NGOs in remote areas: It is
experienced that reaching out to farmers in remote areas is difficult due to poor
accessibility. These regions are mostly rainfed and inhabited by tribal and
poor farmers. States may identify such areas requiring special efforts for raising
productivity of food grain crops. Suitable institutes/organizations including
NGOs may be entrusted to undertake clusters demonstrations in these areas.
The cost norms for demonstrations specified in Annexure-V will be followed. In
addition, 10% of cost of demonstration may be paid as institutional charge.
State/district authorities will monitor the work done. Suitable
institutes/organizations including NGOs will be identified at district level for
this purpose based on the criteria suggested below:
(a) At least 3 years experience of successful execution of agriculture/rural
development projects in remote/backward areas.
(b) Should have accounts audited for all programmes implemented during
past three years and not declared black listed in past by
Central/State/Districts authorities.
(iii) Value Chain integration of small producers: Majority of the farmers
are small producers who face difficulties in managing high risk involved in
farming mainly due to weather aberrations, uneven access to technologies,
unreliable input supplies, erratic power supply, inadequate marketing
arrangements etc. Forming and strengthening of Farmer Producer Organizations
(FPOs) is likely to mitigate at least some of the risks and constraints faced by the
28 | P a g e
farmers. The formation of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) may offer a
collective strength for seed production and seed procurement, access to credit
and improved technologies, reduce transaction costs, facilitate value addition,
tap high value markets etc and enter into partnerships with private entities on
more equitable terms. Small Farmers’ Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC) has
already demonstrated the benefits of aggregating farmers into FPOs during the
XII Plan.
State Governments will be required to submit their action plans for FPO
promotion, to be undertaken through SFAC or similar organisations, along
with their annual action plans. Assistance for FPO promotion will be available
for a maximum period of three years as per the FPO Process Guidelines of DAC
& FW. The Action Plans must specify the commodity, target area and target
producers, besides the manner in which value addition will be undertaken
during the promotion of FPOs. The Action Plan should broadly be divided into
four areas viz. (i) Mobilization, training, exposure and capacity building
interventions (ii) agriculture based livelihood interventions such as trial and
demonstration of Good Agriculture Practices (replacement of varieties, pre-and
Post-sowing practices, seed production and dissemination, INM, IPM, etc.) (iii)
formation and development of Kissan Producer Company or other institutional
form, which will include awareness building, federating, drafting constitution,
registration of the company, develop and establish system and procedures
related to administration, accounts, HR, develop business plan and
implementation, statutory compliance , etc. and (iv) linkage to value chain
(marketing). SFAC will assist the State Governments in drawing up action
plans, if required. State Governments will also have the flexibility to undertake
FPO promotion through any other Central, State, Civil Society or private in the
process Guidelines for FPOs referred to above, will be followed in such sector
entity of their choice. A copy of the FPO Process Guidelines is available on the
DAC & FW and SFAC web sites. The component wise financial provisions for
one FPO of 1000 farmers under Value Chain Integration of Small and Marginal
farmers is given at Annexure-VIII.
(iv) Assistance to Custom Hiring Centres: For small land holders, the farm
mechanization by individual farm families is economically not viable.
Therefore, such farm holders utilize the services of Custom Hiring Centres for
the various farm operations. Also, under special cases, community operations
of selected farm activities are required to be undertaken within a time frame.
In view of this, provision has been made to subsidize cost of hiring machines
for farming operations at individual farmer/community level. The machines
can be hired from existing Custom Hiring Centres and/or Custom Hiring
29 | P a g e
Centres to be established under the National Mission on Agricultural
Mechanization. The State Governments may submit proposals with subsidy for
hiring machines for farm operations not exceeding Rs. 1500/- per hectare. The
proposals submitted by the States would be approved by the NFSMEC.
(v) Marketing support for nutri cereals, millets and pulses: For promoting
the production of pulses and millets, it is proposed that marketing support
would be provided to growers in form of insurance cover for machines, Dal
mill and millet/ nutri cereals processing unit to individual/communities,
incentives to processing agencies etc. Assistance will be limited to 50% of
the cost of the items. Funds will be allocated to SFAC and similar
organizations at Centre/State level against specific proposals approved by
NFSM-EC. The support for value addition and marketing in pulses and
millets is given Annexure-VIII will cover the following areas:-
1. Establishment of mini dal mills by farmers, farmer groups or registered
FPOs (@ Rs. 10.00 lakhs, or 30% of the total cost, whichever is lower, as
one time support)
2. Support for branding and marketing of milled pulses or millets (available
only to registered FPOs @ Rs.5.00 lakh per FPO, for one time support
only)
3. Marketing support to un-registered farmer groups, SHGs, SHG federation
etc. for local marketing of pulses and millets (@Rs.2.00 lakh per group of
15 farmers, for one time support only).
4. Support to registered FPOs to set up and equip procurement centres to
grade and process pulses and millets (@Rs.5.00 lakh per FPO for one
time support only)
Proposals for marketing support to individual farmers, informal farmer
groups, SHGs / SHG federations and registered FPOs must form part of
the annual Action Plan of the States.
14.6 Exposure visit to International Organizations
i. In order to enrich the knowledge base of the technical personnel involved
in the Mission, exposure visit/training of technical officers/staff at
international organizations like IRRI, CYMMIT, ICRISAT, AVRDC, ICARDA
or any other research organization in crop production technologies etc.
would be organized.
30 | P a g e
14.7 Awards
The national level Krishi Karman Awards consisting 8 awards including
three for the States with highest foodgrains production in three identified
categories (Category I – where production is > 10 million tonnes during the
particular year, Category II – where production is between 1-10 million tonnes
during the particular year, and Category III – where production is <1 million
tonnes) during the particular year and five awards for highest production under
each of the individual crops of Rice, Wheat, Pulses, Coarse Cereals and
Oilseeds. Agriculture Minister’s Krishi Karman Awards for progressive farmers
will be given to selected farmers (One male and one female) from the awardee
states. Similarly, State level Krishi Karman Awards are proposed to all
individual NFSM Crops by implementing states for the selected districts
adapting guidelines of National Krishi Karman Award or modified guidelies as
per their local needs. This may be organized either on 26th January or 2nd
October.
14.8 Miscellaneous Expenses:
Financial assistance would be provided at district, state and national levels to
improve mobility of staff, meet office expenses including stationery and other
miscellaneous expenditure. At district level, the assistance of Rs. 2.40 lakh per year
for hiring the vehicle, Rs. 0.50 lakh per year for stationery would be provided. An
assistance of Rs.1.00 lakh as one time grant for computer and its accessories to
new districts or those districts which did not avail this grant earlier would be
provided.
At state level, the assistance of Rs. 2.40 lakh per year for hiring the vehicle,
Rs. 1.0 lakh per year for stationery and other contingencies (for every 15 districts).
However, such support will not include any expenditure for recurring expenses like
pay and allowances to the staff of the State Government.

Nutri-Cereals
1. Introduction
1.1 Millets have high protein, fibre and mineral contents as compared to fine
cereals like wheat and rice. Particularly, millet crops are more superior in terms
of nutritive value health benefits. Further, these crops have low water
requirements being C4 plant, wider adaptability to varied ecology/climate; are
environment friendly with low consumption of pesticides, best suited for
contingency planning with large stake of small, marginal & tribal farmers.
Moreover, use of millets reduces the malnutrition and tackles anemia and
micronutrient deficiency commonly found in women and children.
1.2 Millets were earlier being promoted during 2011-12 to 2013-14 under the
programme of Initiative for Nutritional Security through Intensive Millets
Promotion (INSIMP) – as a sub scheme of RKVY and now merged as component of
National Food Security Mission (NFSM) as NFSM-Coarse Cereals from 2014-15.
At present, this programme is being implemented in 265 districts of 28 states of
the country.
As a follow up of the decision taken by Hon’ble Prime Minister during the
meeting held on 18th July, 2017, the Committee under the Chairmanship of Prof.
Ramesh Chand, Member, NITI Aayog in respect of "Introduction of Millets
under PDS to provide Nutritional Support” was held on 13.10.2017 in NITI
Aayog. After deliberations, the following decisions were taken for initiating
appropriate action by DAC & FW.
a) Millets viz. Jowar, Bajra and Ragi need to be promoted through PDS
across the country to improve nutritional content in diet of masses.
Instead of calling them coarse grains, millets should be positioned as
nutri-cereals and their benefits need to be popularized amongst masses
through sustained and effective campaign
b) Research needs to be done to develop high yielding varieties and also
varieties with longer shelf life. It may also be examined whether nutri-
cereals can be promoted as a sub-mission under the National Food
Security Mission.
On the basis of recommendations of NITI Aayog, it has been decided to
create a Sub Mission on Nutri Cereals covering Jowar, Bajra and Small
millets as a component of existing NFSM-Coarse Cereals. Promotion of
millets as sub mission of NFSM will provide support to the farmers,
113 | P a g e
consumers in those areas where these crops are traditionally grown
and consumed by rural population. Secondly, the millets are even not
consumed in the growing areas due to longer cooking time, difficulty in
preparation, lack of value addition, marketing support and change in
food habits.
After operationalisation of this Sub Mission on Nutri-Cereals, the
existing NFSM-Coarse Cereals will be known as NFSM-Coarse Cereals
covering Maize & Barley only.
2. Objective:
2.1 Development strategy for addressing issues concerning production,
demand, and research with market oriented approach.
2.2 Increasing production of Nutri-Cereals through area expansion and
productivity enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified
districts of the country
2.3 Strengthening seed supply system of Nutri-Cereals.
2.4 Enhancing post-harvest value addition at farm gate for better price
realization to farmers through efficient market linkages.
3. Interventions / Strategies Proposed
To achieve the above objectives, the mission will adopt various strategy measures mentioned below:
Focus on low productivity and high potential districts including
cultivation of Nutri-Cereals crops in rain fed areas, fallow lands and
wastelands.
Implementation of cropping system centric interventions in a Mission
mode approach through active engagement of all the stakeholders at
various levels.
Agro-climatic zone wise planning and cluster approach for crop
productivity enhancement.
Promotion and extension of improved technologies i.e., seed, integrated
nutrient management (INM) including micronutrients, soil amendments,
integrated pest management (IPM), input use efficiency and resource
conservation technologies along with capacity building of the
farmers/extension functionaries.
Processing clusters and value addition at farm level to enhance local
consumption by addressing processing issues and will boost the millets
cultivation nationwide.
114 | P a g e
Creating awareness about the nutritional and health benefits over other
traditional food grains and popularization of millet products among the
consumers could be a major step for demand creation.
Creation of marketing infrastructure with innovative supply chain
models, online marketing platforms and others will significantly increase
the millets farmers’ share in consumer rupee.
Close monitoring of flow of funds to ensure timely reach of interventions
to the target beneficiaries.
Integration of various proposed interventions and targets with the
district plan of each identified district.
Constant monitoring and concurrent evaluation by the implementing
agencies for assessing the impact of the interventions for a result
oriented approach.
4. Criteria for selection of Districts
All States growing Jowar, Bajra and Small Millets will be covered under the
programme of NFSM-Nutri-Cereals (Jowar, Bajra and Small Millets). However, for
identification of Districts, only those districts shall be identified that have more
than 10,000 ha area under Jowar, Bajra and 5,000 ha area for Finger Millet and
2,000 ha area for Small Millets, (Foxtail, Barnyard, Kodo, Little / Kutki and Proso
Millets). Nutri-Cereals will be implemented in 202 Districts of 14 States along
with hill states and 8 North Eastern States including Assam. The list of identified
districts of Nutri-Cereals is given at (Annexure-VIII-A). State Mission Director will
prepare the Annual Action Plan on the basis of District Action Plan. The State
Mission Director will get the State Action Plan vetted by the State Food Security
Mission Executive Committee (SFSMEC) and furnish the same in the prescribed
format (Annexure-VIII b) to Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare for
consideration by NFSMEC. Along with Action Plan, state would also submit a
brief report on implementation of Nutri-Cereals in the preceding years,
interventions undertaken, salient outcome, lessons learnt, success story, etc.
(Annexure-VIII C).
5. Demonstration:
The Nutri-cereals production can be increased through increase in the crop
area or by increasing the productivity of agricultural crops per unit of area.
Expansion of area under nutri-cereal crops is limited due to limited availability of
115 | P a g e
lands and increased demand for lands for non-agricultural purposes. Therefore
increase in the productivity of millets remains the most viable option for
enhancing the production of Nutri-Cereals in the country.
In most of the states, farmers realize lesser yield for the Nutri-Cereal crops
as compared to the yield demonstrated by the research institutes. There is,
therefore, potential for increasing the productivity by using/promoting the newly
released varieties and improved package of practices. Inability of the farmers in
ensuring the improved package of practices as demonstrated by the research
stations often lead to yield gap.
Significant income generation of millets farmers can be done by
productivity enhancement of millets through reducing yield gaps in fallows, dry
lands and wastelands under millets cultivation.
5.1 Size of cluster demonstration
The size of demonstrations for Sorghum (Jowar), Pearl Millets (Bajra) and
Small Millets will be of 20 ha for general States and 10 ha for NE States and
Himalayan Hilly States.
A cafeteria of crop specific interventions provided above to enable the
states to pick up the critical inputs relevant to that particular agro-
climatic zones for dissemination through large scale demonstrations.
It is assumed that these demonstrations on large scale will have a
positive impact to change the mindset of the farmers in adopting those
production technologies.
Out of the total allocation for demonstrations, additional 5% of the
amount is proposed for CFLDs for adaptation of new technologies to be
implemented by the ICAR/SAUs/KVKs/Local Institutes.
All farmers in a cluster would be included in a demonstration. For each
farmer, at least 0.4 ha area and not more than 2 ha will be included in demonstration.
Selection of beneficiary Farmers: Gram Panchayat would be involved
in selection of beneficiary farmers. Only the farmers willing to cooperate and contribute some of the resources should be selected. Selection of beneficiaries should be done adopting participatory approach by holding
meetings in the village by explaining the objectives of the demonstrations and role and responsibilities including expectations from the
participating farmers.
Selection of Site: Demonstration site should be easily accessible for the farmers and the extension workers. It should not be on an isolated field.
116 | P a g e
The selected site should be the representative of soil type and soil fertility status of the area.
Soil Analysis: As far as possible soil fertility status of the selected field
should be known well in advance for deciding the use of fertilizer and soil ameliorants on the basis of Soil Health Cards issued by State Agriculture
Departments.
Identification of Technologies to be demonstrated: The improved practices for the demonstration plots should be identified in consultation
with SAU through their Regional Research Stations/KVKs located in the area. However, the most critical inputs should be given top priority. For
example correction of soil acidity through liming should be done while conducting a demonstration on improved package on acid soils. The varieties to be included in the package should preferably be newer
varieties.
Distribution of demonstration kits and training of participating farmers: An orientation training programme would be organized to brief
the beneficiary farmers about the procedure to be followed for conducting demonstrations. Farmers would be informed about the critical operations
for the demonstrations. The demonstration kits may be distributed to the farmers during the training programme. The demonstrations would be conducted by extension functionaries of the State Department of
Agriculture under the supervision of District Consultant.
Monitoring: District Consultants/Technical Assistants of NFSM should monitor the conduct of demonstrations throughout the cropping season
and should report the outcome in prescribed format to the district level PMT. The extension functionaries should visit the demonstration plots
and arrange need based visits of scientists.
Display Board: The display board would contain information on the critical inputs used and the interventions being demonstrated. A display
board containing the following information should be installed at the demonstration plot.
Number of farmers
Name of Village Name of Variety/ hybrid Type of demonstration
Fertilizers applied Bio-fertilizers applied
Micronutrient applied Date of Sowing/Transplanting Seed Rate and Spacing
Any other critical input used Mobile number of District Consultant/ Technical Assistant
State should include more than one improved variety/hybrid in one cluster demonstration.
State should also conduct more than one cluster in same village.
Field day: A field day should be organized during reproductive phase of
the crop preferably at grain filling stage. The participation of scientists
117 | P a g e
from SAUs/KVKs should be ensured for critical observations and solutions of problems. Some relevant extension literature like leaflets,
pamphlets etc should also be made available to the participating farmers.
Reporting of the Results: The results of the demonstrations should be
compiled at block, district and State level. At State level, the results of the demonstrations should be compiled in the form of document. The
state should analyze the contribution of various interventions undertaken under cluster demonstrations and up-scaling of particular
intervention in succeeding years.
Cost Norms of Demonstration: The cost of demonstration for one ha
area will be Rs. 6000/-. The cost of demonstrations includes organization of field day, distribution of publicity material and visit of scientists/GOI
and state officials. In the Annual Action Plan State Government will clearly specify the interventions proposed to be demonstrated. The
interventions selected should be based on the recommendations made by IIMR/AICSIP/SAU/Zonal Research Station for the agro-climatic zone concerned after approval of SFSMEC. Beneficiary farmers should be
asked to arrange recommended quantity of chemical fertilizers. Additional cost, if any should be borne by the farmer. For an individual farmer, the area under demonstration should not exceed 2 ha.
5.2. Cluster Front Line Demonstrations (CFLDs):
CFLDs is a form of adaptive research on the latest notified/released varieties during last 10 years/technologies which is demonstrated by ICAR/SAUs system on the selected farmer’s field.
CFLDs are a unique approach to provide a direct interface between
researcher and farmers as the scientists are directly involved in planning,
execution and monitoring of the demonstrations for the technologies developed by them and get direct feedback from the farmers.
Cost Norms
The cost of FLDs/CFLDs for one ha area will be Rs. 6000/- which includes
organization of field day, distribution of publicity material and visit of
scientists/GOI and state officials.
The large blocks of crop areas will be taken up for Cluster Front Line
Demonstration (CFLDs) of production and protection technologies in a
cropping system based mode.
Area of operation: The CFLDs will be conducted in a contiguous block by dividing the fields in two blocks, one for improved practices and the other for farmer's practices in a area of 5 ha or more. The lowest
productivity areas in selected districts should be given priority.
ICAR/SAUs may indicate the nodal centres for respective nutri-cereal
crops to coordinate the implementation of FLDs.
118 | P a g e
Field Level Technology demonstrations in compact blocks would be
organized in selected districts for four categories of millets – Sorghum,
Pearl millet, Finger millet and Small millets.
Except varietal trials, the demonstrations on other crop production
technologies, the variety should not be older than 10 years, preferably
below 5 years.
Each implementing agency will constitute monitoring team with
involvement of officials of Crop Development Directorates, State,
Department of Agriculture and Scientists of ICAR/ SAUs/KVKs.
All the FLDs/CFLDs should be conducted under the close supervision of
SAUs/KVK/ICAR institutes/ATARI.
Farmers practice, crop production and plant protection technologies
used in FLDs should be obtained in the progress report. The reasons for
yield gap between FLDs and farmers' practices should be mentioned in
progress report.
No chemical fertilizer is allowed as input under FLD programme,
however, payment to various farm operations/farm services and other
critical inputs (seed, bio-fertilizers, lime, gypsum and micro nutrients
etc.) are allowed. Farmers have to apply the recommended doses of
fertilizers from their own resources.
Field days should be regularly organized and prior information should
be sent to DAC & FW and Director, ATARI of ICAR.
The details of FLD beneficiary-farmers along with contact number
should also be furnished to DAC & FW.
All implementing agencies and their coordinating centres should involve
agronomist/plant breeder to finalize technologies to be demonstrated in
FLD programme and follow up visits to demonstration sites.
The FLDs implementing agency will re-allocate the number of FLDs as
per approval and intimate to DAC & FW.
Each implementing agency will send technical programme and progress
report of FLDs Millets should be submitted to Indian Institute of Millets
Research (IIMR), Hyderabad and Directorate of Millets Development
(DMD), Jaipur respectively on quarterly basis.

6.1.1 Enhancing Breeder Seed Production For Increasing Indigenous
Production of Millets in India
The breeder’s seed forms the basic link in the chain of seed-
multiplication programme. Utmost care required to strengthen the
programs and effectiveness. It is therefore, necessary that extra care is
taken and sufficient funds are to be allotted for breeder seed-
multiplication programme.
Besides providing substantial inputs, breeders have to follow up requisite
operations, like pollinations, isolation, roguing, processing, etc., before
the seed is declared fit for subsequent multiplication programme.
The center wise details of breeder seed production targets of various
millets through SAUs/ ICAR institutes / ICRISAT approved under the
project. The budget proposed for each center is mainly for works, seed
processing units, and farm implements.
6.1.2 Identification Multiplication and distribution of high yielding
varieties (HYVs) and hybrids
Seed Hubs:

120 | P a g e
Seed play the most important role in increasing the productivity of
agriculture sector. Introduction of high yielding varieties of rice and wheat during
the early sixties played a major role in bringing green revolution in India.
Development of the millets seed sector in the country will need introduction of
seeds that can resist water stress, are of short duration and other qualities that
suit the dryland conditions. Developing HYVs of these crops will significantly add
to the development of the dryland agriculture in the country.
In millets, availability of quality seeds is only 30-35% (Seed Replacement
Rate) and remaining 65-70% is supplied through informal sector (farm saved
seed) whose quality is much below the desired level. In order to increase the
availability of quality seeds to farmers, creation of millet seed hubs is necessary
and quality seed will help to enhance production by 20-30%.
The seed hubs will be created in states selected under NFSM Nutri-cereals
component. The primary objective of these seed hubs is to ensure the availability
of location specific HYVs/Hybrids at affordable prices to farmers following
generation system of seed multiplication from breeder seed to foundation seed to
certified seed.
The seed hubs are managed by SAUs/ Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs)/ ICAR
institutes which will be identified by respective state governments. The seed hubs
will have primary seed processing along with seed storage facilities. The technical
assistance and expenditure if any will be provided to each hub for maintenance
and operational aspects of seed production and processing machinery through
revolving fund.
Along with these seed hubs, seed producing agencies like
NSC/SSCs/SAUs/ICAR Institutes will also undertake foundation/certified seed
production and among which authorized by the State they will distribute seed to
selected districts. The DFSMEC will finalize the list of beneficiaries in
consultation with Village Panchayat. Assistance for purchase of seeds will be
available to selected farmers for the area not exceeding 1 ha each.
In case of supply of seeds by Central Seed Agencies like NSC, NAFED,
IFFDC, KRIBHCO etc. reimbursement of subsidy for distribution of Hybrid/HYV
seeds of Millets will be made directly by the Ministry to such agency, within 10%
(with 10 % annual increase) of State’s Seed distribution target in identified NFSM
districts on the basis of verification by Districts/States and adjusted from the
State’s overall allocation under seed distribution component.
Spread of HYV is more pronounced in sorghum and bajra while improved
varieties in ragi and other small millets cultivars needs lot of improvement. Seed
supply of small millets varieties is an area which need focused attention for
enhancement of farmers 'income in tribal, hilly and other disadvantageous
regions.
121 | P a g e
7. Incentive for Seed Production:
Many of the recent public hybrids particularly for pearl millets have shorter
duration and they are better suited for adoption especially in the low rainfall
area. However commercial production of these hybrids has not been undertaken
by the Seed Producing Agencies in the Public and the Private Sector. Similarly for
Rabi Sorghum better varieties have been developed to replace age old varieties
but these varieties have not been put in the seed chain for assured supply.
To promote new varieties/hybrids and to augment the availability of seed
and to make the cost affordable to the farmers, it is proposed to provide an
incentive of Rs. 3,000/- per quintal HYVs. Out of which 75% incentive would be
passed on to the farmers and 25% to the seed producing agencies towards their
handling and processing charges. The varieties released during last 10 years
would only qualify for the assistance. Besides, the central agencies i.e. NSC, ICAR
Institutions/SAUs and any other approved central agency would be involved in
seed production programme with farmer participatory approach.
8. Seed Minikit Programme of Nutri-Cereals
In order to promote quick spread of new varieties/hybrid of millets, minikits
of millets seed varieties not older than 10 years will be provided free of cost to
farmers. National and state seed producing agencies will supply minikits to State
Government for distribution amongst farmers. The arrangement for seeds for seed
minikits of millets will be made by the concerned States and furnish the bills for
reimbursement to the Ministry. Distribution of seed minikits will be made to all
farmers in contiguous area of at least 25 hectares. The size of minikits will be 1.5
kg of Bajra and 4 kg of Jowar, Ragi & small millets. This quantity will be sufficient
to plant 0.4 ha. The price of seed minikits will be fixed by NFSMEC and the cost
will be reimbursed to the agencies on certification of receipt by the State
Governments.
In millets, apart from frontline demonstrations (FLDs), initial efforts in
bringing the new variety in seed chain is most essential unlike other crops which
are not taken up by seed agencies and corporations for production. Provision of
minikit programmes not only helps in enabling varietal replacement, but also in
enhancing production and productivity which is the mail goal of this programme.

9.1 Farmer Producer Organizations:
Millets cultivation in India is dominated by resource poor small holder farmers and widely dispersed across geographies. Leveraging on those existing
Farmer Producer Organizations and federation of such resource poor famers into new FPOS would result in attaining faster results. The outcomes are expected to
improve access to quality inputs, credit and technology, plus adoption of better practices, higher productivity and higher incomes due to integration in the value chain and to share in the resulting benefits under NFSM. It is envisaged that
during the next 5 years atleast 100 millet based FPOs will be formed.
Assistance for FPO promotion will be available for a maximum period of three years as per the FPO Process Guidelines of SFAC. The Action Plan proposed focuses on the following four areas.
(i) Mobilization, training, exposure and capacity building interventions
(ii) Agriculture based livelihood interventions such as trial and demonstration of Good Agriculture Practices (replacement of varieties, pre-and post-sowing
practices, seed production and dissemination, INM, IPM, etc.)
(iii) Formation and development of Farmer/Kisan Producer Company or other
institutional form, which will include awareness building, federating, drafting constitution, registration of the company, develop and establish
system and procedures related to administration, accounts, HR, develop business plan and implementation, statutory compliance , etc. and
(iv) Linkage to value chain (marketing). SFAC will assist the States in drawing up action plans, if required. States will also have the flexibility to undertake FPO promotion through any other Central, State, civil society or private in
the Process Guidelines for FPOs referred to above, will be followed in such sector entity of their choice. However, the methodology of selecting such
entities, as laid down cases.
123 | P a g e
9.2 Demonstration cum Training Centres:
Primary and Secondary Processing facilities will be provided to each FPOs. Each of these FPOs will be connected to a KVK/ ICAR institute/NGO for
handholding and will serve as demonstration cum training centres for furtherance of post-harvest technologies. Necessary technical training will be provided to the members of FPO before operationalization. A technical assistant
(with intermediate pass) will be provided on contractual basis for operations purpose. Farm level value addition will enable better price realization for
beneficiaries. To utilise the full capacity and to attain sustainability of these processing unit, FPOs may levy nominal charges.
As a part of the marketing support each of these FPOs are encouraged to start a Millet Kitchen. Selected women farmers / women entrepreneurs among the FPOs will be trained on millet based food recipes. This will augment the
consumption preferences among tier 2 and tier 3 cities towards millets.

equipments. Care should be taken while selecting beneficiaries for their credibility to sustain millet promotion. One Technical assistant/cluster may be provided to handle the machinery. The specifications may be provided by the
ICAR-IIMR/CFTRI/CIPHET/CIAE to all the identified states. Trainings may be provided by the vendors in consultation with ICAR-IIMR/AICRP/CoE/SAU.
The States may accordingly develop the district-wise list of
entrepreneurs/progressive farmers/SHGs/ NGOs and forward it to ICAR-Indian
Institute of Millets Research (ICAR-IIMR), Hyderabad and Directorate of Millets Development (DMD), Jaipur.
10. Research Support:
10.1 Extending financial support for existing Center of Excellence (COEs)
Three commodity-wise national demonstrations cum training centres would be set up as a part of Initiative for Nutritional Security through Intensive Millets Promotion (INSIMP) at the Indian Institute of Millets
Research (IIMR) (formerly known as Directorate of Sorghum Research (DSR), Hyderabad for sorghum; University of Agriculture Sciences, UAS, Bengaluru for finger millet and small millets and CCS Hisar Agriculture University, Hisar
for pearl millet with the following objectives:-
Value added products and technologies and recipe development
Shelf life enhancement and nutritional profiling
Refinement of technology, retrofitting machineries and their demonstration.
Providing entrepreneurship development and training by incubating
them
Facilitate market linkages between processors and producers.
Upscaling of developed technologies and
Creating awareness on nutritional wellness of millets
Each of these centres functioned as a Centre of Excellence (COEs) for the designated crop has done a commendable work in technology development, demonstrations and capacity building activities for farmers and entrepreneurs.
`In particular, IIMR has done an extensive research in the area of post harvest value addition of millets and has been able to create a road map for enhancing demand for millets there by supporting farmers for a better price realization.
It is envisaged that the Nutricereals component under NFSM should also
support the existing COEs established under INSIMP. These centers will continue to work on Post harvest value addition research needs with a major focus on demand creation of millets through Technology up scaling and commercialization
(especially through entrepreneurship) , Entrepreneurship development with special focus on women, Shelf life studies and bio fortification in Millets.
They may be provided each with responsibility of establishing pilot millet kitchens in each of these CoE’s by providing onetime grant in addition to
125 | P a g e
providing one mobile exhibition cum kitchen to propagate millets and reaching out to end user.
It is also proposed that ICAR-IIMR, Hyderabad will host an Nutricereals industrial applications pilot project like Brewing, Bio-fuel, Fodder briquetting and
pellets machinery.
10.2 Collaborative Research and Development
Project Management Agency: Indian Institute of Millets Research (IIMR),
Hyderabad.
While collaboration has been an integral part of research for a long time,
interdisciplinary/multi-contextual collaboration has stoked the pace of research
and development; and encouraged the development of innovative and
groundbreaking results.
Encouraging Public Private Community Partnerships (PPPC) in the areas of
research and development can speed up the process of millets promotion in
India. Following are the thrust areas identified for such collaborative work.
Identification and development of product specific cultivars of millets for
different end users- for grain, value addition purposes such as flour,
semolina, flakes, biscuits, bakery products, starch industry, etc.
Encouraging private seed sector to partner with R&D institutions like
IIMR to develop product specific cultivars with high yielding ,
nutritionally rich attributes can encourage adoption of such cultivars
among farming community
Fabrication of primary processing machinery of small millets to improve
the efficiency of dehulling as their outer seed coat is inedible making it
unfit for human consumption. Associated drudgery in primary
processing of small millets in particular has caused significant decrease
in the consumption of millets in the country.
Encouraging qualified engineers/entrepreneurs/ private sector to
collaborate with R&D institutes like IIMR can develop and fabricate
more efficient and cost efficient processing machines
Bioavailability and Shelf life enhancement studies: Studies conducted to
test the shelf life enhancement and bio-availability of micro-nutrients
would help in increasing the consumers’ acceptability towards millets
value added products.
Collaborative research with institutes like National Institute of Nutrition
(NIN) and other regulatory agencies like FSSAI to develop standards for
certifying nutritional profile of Nutricereals and its products of various
stakeholders. The process of attaining accreditation is ongoing, further
collaborative research is essential. This will enable the exporters and
126 | P a g e
processors to claim nutritional profiles and can promote their products
in both domestic and global markets. Grades and standards for each of
the millets which has immense value.
Baseline Study: A baseline study to estimate on general crop
estimation, crop cutting experiments, consumption pattern and extend
of commercialization especially for small millets will be conducted. It is
envisaged that the study findings will be useful for evolving a integrated
plan of action for development of small millets in the country.
ICAR-IIMR will moderate and implement such collaborations and tie-ups with Public and Private sector.
11. FLEXI Interventions
11.1 Trainings
Training of trainers/farmers plays crucial role in speedy dissemination of
improved crop production practices. Since majority of farmers are not adopting
any package of practices in millets, it is proposed to organize four sessions of
each training. One at the beginning of kharif and rabi season, one each during
kharif and rabi season.
The training will be imparted by crop/subject matter specialists of ICAR
institutes/SAUs/KVKs and will involve crop management (agronomic and plant
protection practices) including primary processing of produce, storage etc. There
will be a group of 35 participants/farmers in each session and participants in all
four sessions will be same. A sum of Rs 14000/- per training (Rs.3500/- per
session /-) will be available. The item-wise breakup of training given as under:
Item Rate (Rs.) Amount for 4 Sessions
Honorarium (1) Rs.500/session Rs. 2000
Training Material and Stationery Rs.500/session Rs. 2000
Refreshments Rs.50/head for 35 persons Rs. 7000
Contingency, Transport etc Rs.750/ person Rs. 3000
Total Rs. 14000
11.2 Training of extension functionaries:
In order to propagate latest crop specific technologies amongst Central and State functionaries who are involved in implementation of NFSM programme, the SAUs, National and International research organizations would be assisted to
organize crop specific trainings within the country.
127 | P a g e
11.3 Support to institutes/organizations including NGOs in remote areas:
It is experienced that reaching out to farmers in remote areas is difficult due to poor accessibility. These regions are mostly rainfed and inhabited by tribal and poor farmers. States may identify such areas requiring special efforts for
raising productivity of food grain crops. Suitable institutes/organizations including NGOs may be entrusted to undertake clusters demonstrations in these
areas. The cost norms for demonstrations specified will be followed. In addition,
10% of cost of demonstration may be paid as institutional charge. State/district authorities will monitor the work done. Suitable institutes/organizations including NGOs will be identified at district level for this purpose based on the
criteria suggested below: (a) At least 3 years experience of successful execution of
agriculture/rural development projects in remote/backward areas. (b) Should have accounts audited for all programmes implemented
during past three years.
11.4 Need based Farm Implements
Under the Programme, only those implements will be provided to the
farmers for use of pesticides and life saving irrigation for increasing productivityof
millets. These implements includes manual sprayer, duster and sprinkler is provided under this programme.
11.5 Exposure visit to National & International Organizations
In order to enrich the knowledge base of the technical personnel involved in
the Mission, exposure visit/training of Scientists/ technical officers/staff at
national & international organizations like IIMR, ICRISAT or any other research
organization in crop production technologies etc. would be organized.
NFSM-EC would approve the proposal of exposure visits /trainings.
12. Awareness, Publicity and Promotion
12.1 Fairs, Exhibitions, Fests and Campaigns
State and District level farmer fairs and exhibitions are equally important
to create awareness about the importance of Millets and the improved
technologies including high yielding varieties and better cultivation
practices. Most importantly government initiatives and support to farmers
in promoting millets production in the country.
National and State level Millets Fests can demonstrate processing
technologies, value addition and nutritional benefits of Millets will create a
demand for millet based products and will also encourage private
investments in millets processing at a national level. Investments in value
addition will bring in efficient supply chain systems encourages more and
128 | P a g e
more farmers to undertake millets cultivation thereby enhancing income,
nutritional security and long term sustainability of millet producers.
National Level 'Eat Millets Campaign' promote the awareness about the
usefulness of millets and to reach out to the larger groups of consumers for
creating a demand for millets there enhancing production.
Case: National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC) has done intensive promotion campaign for increasing egg consumption through the medium of press, radio and TV. Similar, National level, State level campaign for promotion of millets are
required to educate the masses about the nutritive value of millets. Campaigns over the electronic media will create a favorable environment for increased
consumption and consequent increase in millets production.
The campaign on TV would also be taken up alongwith advertisements in
publications, documentary films, rural publicity through vans, unique schemes of providing millet kitchen carts to unemployed youths, nutritional booklets,
mother and child care booklets, recipe booklets, exhibitions, seminars and cultural events.
A national level committee will undertake campaign and necessary finding
will be provided under NFSM- Sub Component of Nutricereals
12.2 Road Shows and Millet campaign Rath with Kitchen
Road shows in major cities like Banglore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai
and New Delhi will bring together farmers, agri-entrepreneurs, retailers,
consumers and government bodies to promote smart foods which will help in
strengthening the commodity demand and benefit farmers income in medium to
long term. It is proposed that as a pilot project, 10 Millet Campaign Rath
(Modified Vans) with Kitchen will be launched under NFSM Nutricereals
component which will be used to organize road shows in these cities.
12.3 Promotion of Millet Restaurants at State and Central Government
Offices
It is proposed that the central and state governments would encourage
creation of exclusive millet kitchens in their government offices. Unemployed
youth / Entrepreneurs will be encouraged to take up such activity and must be
incentivized under NFSM.
12.4 Centers of Excellence (COEs) in Value Chain Integration and Millet
Entrepreneurship
COE at IIMR and other institutes has been working extensively over the
last decade in developing millet based processing technologies and receipes. Most
of the products developed are innovative and nutritionally rich. COEs has been
commercializing such innovative technologies through entrepreneurship, however
the private investments has been limited, majorly because of lack of awareness of
such commercial opportunities with millets value addition. These COEs will
129 | P a g e
continue to provide a platform in promoting such technologies developed by these
institutes. However, additional support would require to enhance its reach. COEs
will undertake the following activities.
1. Sensitization & awareness for enhancing production and consumption
(through various stake holders and activities)
2. Trainings, capacity building and entrepreneurship.
3. Special focus on Women entrepreneurship activities associating with
women federations, associations.
4. Value chain integration of farmers (focus on FPOs, SHGs) by adopting a
market based approach in production there by creating an efficient
supply chain and market linkages to farmers.
13. Reporting System
The State Department of Agriculture will ensure submission of
Monthly/Quarterly Progress Reports (MPRs/QPRs) which should reach by the
15th of the month following each month/quarter. Similarly, the detailed Annual
Progress Report (APR) should be sent to the National Mission Director, within
three months after the end of the year; in prescribed format (Annexure-VIII (D).
One copy of the quarterly/annual report of NFSM-Nutri Cereals should be sent
to the Directorate of Millets Development, Jaipur.

Operational Guidelines
********
1. Introduction
Cotton, Jute and Sugarcane are amongst the main cash crops of
India. These crops are grown in food crops sequences in different agro-
climatic conditions.
In 12th Five Year Plan, cropping system approach was adopted by
including commercial crops like cotton, jute and sugarcane to meet the
demand for both food & cash crops under NFSM. The Commercial Crops
based cropping system component is continued for the period from 2017-
18 to 2019-20. This would be possible through proper crop rotation,
multiple cropping systems, intercropping etc. The commercial crop based
cropping system linked with food crops are given in Annexure-IX.
The Commercial Crops component of NFSM wouldbe implemented by
the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW)
through State Department of Agriculture (SDA), Indian Council of
Agricultural Research (ICAR), etc.The Crop Development Directorates
(CDD’s) i.e Directorate of Cotton Development (DOCD), Nagpur, Directorate
of Jute Development (DOJD), Kolkata and Directorate of Sugarcane
Development (DOSD), Lucknow will act as nodal office of respective
commercial crop, besides, their participation for dissemination of
technology of mandated crops.
The main objectives of including commercial crop based cropping
system are i) to utilize vacant inter-row space of Commercial Crops by
growing oilseeds, pulses and food crops, etc ii) to generate higher net
returns and cultivable land utilization index as compare to mono-cropping
iii) to increase the soil fertility status by adopting proper crop rotation with
commercial crops iv) to implement IPM strategies and reduce pest load
through cropping system approach v) to demonstrate latest technologies of
crop utilization, intercropping, seed production; and vi) to implement need
based interventions of recent priorities in cotton, jute and sugarcane crop.
147 | P a g e
2. Funding Pattern
From, 2015-16, in view of increased devolution to the States on
account of implementation of recommendations of 14th Finance
Commission, NFSM has been implemented on sharing basis between
Government of India and States on 60:40 basis for general category states
& 90:10 basis for North East & hilly states. However, the Central Agencies
are funded 100% by GOI. The same pattern of sharing of expenditure will
be continued during the period from 2017-18 to 2019-20.
3. Implementing Agencies
The programme will be implemented in 19 States as covered during
12th Plan. Beside States, ICAR, Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), State
Agriculture Universities (SAUs), etc. will implement the activities of NFSM-
commercial crops. The General Council may however decide inclusion /
exclusion of the states under NFSM-CC.
a) Under NFSM-Cotton: all the major, traditional & non-traditional States
Viz. Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya
Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Telangana, Tamil Nadu,
Tripura, Uttar Pradesh & West Bengal (15 States) are covered. Any new
potential State with an area more than 1 lakh ha may be considered by the
General Council provided, the justification for inclusion is considered by
General Council.
b) Under NFSM-Jute & allied fibres: all the major eastern & north eastern
States Viz., Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Orissa,
Tripura, Uttar Pradesh & West Bengal (9 States) are covered. Any new
potential State with an area more than 10,000 ha may be considered by
General Council.
c) Under NFSM-Sugarcane: all the major States Viz., Andhra Pradesh, Bihar,
Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa,
Punjab, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Uttarkhand & Uttar Pradesh (13 States)
are covered. Any new potential State with an area more than 50,000 ha
may be considered by General Council. Sugarcane is a water Guzzling crop
and the depletion of ground water has been a cause of concern, therefore,
General Council may consider the states justification provided the state
148 | P a g e
promote sugarcane in the area where irrigation water is not constraint and
will promote sugarcane under drip irrigation system only.
d) The 19 States covered under NFSM-Commercial Crops will have flexibility
to include districts where these commercial crops are grown in major area
with the approval of SFSMEC.
e) Private agencies, if any, should get approval of action plan through State
Government/ICAR. The State Governments / Implementing agencies may
include private agencies / NGO/FPO/SHG etc as per general guidelines of
NFSM under NFSM-CC also.
f) The major aim of including commercial component under NFSM is to
increase production of foodgrains & oilseeds by adopting cropping system
approach rather than promoting the commercial crops alone.
4. Role of Panchayati Raj Institutions
Panchayati Raj Institutions will be actively involved in the selection
of beneficiaries, identification of priority areas of commercial crops based
cropping system through States/Implementing agencies.Beneficiary
farmers are selected in consultation with Gram Panchayats. At least, 33%
of allocation is made for small & marginal farmers and 30% for women
farmers as per norms of the NFSM. The allocation to SC/ST will be
proportionate to their population in the district/states and the benefits
under NFSM-CC will be in accordance with the decision of Government of
India for Special Component Plan (SCP) for scheduled castes and Tribal
Sub Plan (TSP) for scheduled tribes. 16% of total allocation for SCP and 8%
TSP will be earmarked.
5. Procedure for Approval & Implementation
The DAC&FW would communicate component-wise tentative annual
outlay to each State for developing Annual Action Plan. The State Mission
Director will prepare a State Action Plan based on District Action Plans and
furnish the same in prescribed format (Annexure- X (a to c) to DAC&FW for
consideration. State would also submit a brief report on implementation of
programme in preceding year such as area covered under cropping system
approach, cafeteria of interventions undertaken under different
149 | P a g e
demonstrations, salient outcomes, lessons learnt, success stories, cafeteria of
interventions for each type of demonstrations, details of activities
/interventions to be undertaken under local initiatives, final physical &
financial progress reports in prescribed format, etc alongwith the action plan.
State Food Security Mission Executive Committee (SFSMEC) is
empowered to make inter-componental changes in budgetary allocation based
on local needs to the extent of 20% of the total allocation under intimation to
DAC &FW.
Funds for implementing the programme will be released to State
Governments. The State governments will release the funds to the State Level
Agency. The State Level Agency would make funds available to the District
Level Agency in accordance with approved programme of the district. Funds
would be released in installments based on the progress reports & submission
of utilization certificate. The states are expected to release funds to the field
functionaries timely so that the programme do not suffer and funds remain
unutilized.
6. Monitoring Mechanism
The National Level Monitoring Team (NALMOT) will be constituted to
monitor the activities of NFSM which will also monitor commercial crops
in various states, no separate NALMOT will be constituted for Commercial
crops. NFSM will be reviewed periodically at different levels. At National
level, NFSM will be reviewed by General Council under the Chairmanship
of Hon’ble Agriculture & Farmers Welfare Minister & Executive Council
chaired by Secretary (DAC&FW) besides by NALMOT through field visits.
7. Evaluation
The respective State Governments will undertake concurrent
evaluation on year-to-year basis. An impact evaluation at the National level
will also be undertaken through an independent agency to assess the
impact of NFSM by the end of 2019-20.
150 | P a g e
8. Reporting
The implementing agencies will submit Quarterly Progress Reports
(QPRs) by the 15th of the month following each quarter and the detailed
Annual Progress Report (APR) latest by 30th April in prescribed format
given in Annexure-XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI and XVII to Crops Division
/ Additional Commissioner ( Commercial Crops), DAC&FW and respective
CDD’s.
9. Components of NFSM-commercial crops
Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs) of various commercial crops
including inter-crops will be conducted by various implementing agencies
besides national/ state level training. Seed production will be assisted in
case of jute and sugarcane. Plant protection chemicals & bio-agents will be
assisted in case of cotton & sugarcane. Insecticide Resistant Management
(IRM) and Online Pest Monitoring and Advisory Services (OPMAS)
programme on Bt/Non Bt cotton will be continued and supported through
ICAR institutions/SDA based on the project proposals of these agencies.
Trials on High Density Planting System (HDPS) will be promoted in cotton.
Distribution of certified seeds, nail weeder & microbial consortium will be
assisted as added components for jute. Production/Supply of tissue
culture raised plantlets/ seedlings in sugarcane will be undertaken under
NFSM-CC.
The cost of audio visual arrangements, organization of field day,
publicity material, field visits, etc will be met under component
contingencies & electronic print media. Support will be given to
State/location specific interventions under Local Initiatives. The assistance
under Local Initiatives will be limited to 25% of total budgetary allocation
made to the State. Assistance would be limited to 50% of the cost of each
intervention.
The components & pattern of assistance of commercial crops is as
given at Annexure-XVIII.
151 | P a g e
10. Cotton Based Cropping Systems
Cotton is cultivated under different cropping system i.e. mono-
cropping, mixed cropping, relay cropping, inter cropping and rotation or
sequence cropping in the country. The common traditional practice
adopted in cultivation of cotton in central and south India is strip cropping
i.e. 1 or 2 rows of pigeon pea, 3-5 rows of finger millet (ragi) after every 8-
10 rows of cotton. There is vast scope of cultivation of various crops as
inter crop with cotton due to its slow initial growth and long duration. The
programme will be implemented in 15 states namely Assam, Andhra
Pradesh,Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar
Pradesh & West Bengal. The component wise details under cotton crop
based cropping system are given below:
10.1 Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM)
Project based IRM module will be implemented by CICR, Nagpur
through SAUs, ICAR institutions, KVKs in collaboration with SDA. The aim
of IRM is to reduce insecticide usage & mitigate insect resistance to
sucking pests to insecticides and resistance in bollworm to Bt cotton. In
addition, it also incorporates IRM strategies in IPM to ensure sustainable
pest management & conservation of natural pest control. The IRM will be
implemented in project mode approved under Annual Action Plan.
10.2On Line Pest Monitoring and Advisory Services (OPMAS)
OPMAS will provide web based pest monitoring and advisory services
about the emerging pests, diseases and any other significant problem with
cotton crop and will be implemented by NCIPM, New Delhi through SAUs,
KVKs, etc. Resistance monitoring in pink bollworm population, validation
and demonstration of grey mildew and leaf reddening management
strategies, dissemination of IPM strategies, popularization of light traps etc
will be main activities of OPMAS. The OPMAS will be implemented in
project mode. State governments can include online pest monitoring
system as one of the components in the Annual Action Plan.
152 | P a g e
10.3 Front Line Demonstration (FLD)
Four types of FLDs on cotton namely (i) FLDs on Integrated Crop
Management (ICM) including Integrated Nutrient Management (INM),
Integrated Pest Management (IPM), soil & water management / improved
agronomic practices, (ii) FLDs on Desi & Extra Long Staple (ELS) cotton /
FLDs on ELS Cotton seed production, (iii) FLDs on intercropping and (iv)
FLDs on natural colour cotton will be organized / conducted through SDA,
ICAR, SAUs, KVKs, etc. FLDs will be organized in cluster of at least 10
hectares. For each farmer, at least 0.4 hectare area will be included in a
demonstration.
10.4 Trials on High Density Planting System (HDPS)
HDPS of cotton in India is promoted to obtain high yields with
straight varieties especially in the rainfed conditions. The planting
geometry of 8-10 cm distance between plants and row to row distance at
30, 45, 75 and 90 cm is being followed under HDPS. The planting
geometry will be kept as recommended by ICAR/SAUs.
Early maturing compact plant types with shorter sympodia suitable
for HDPS have been identified by CICR, Nagpur. HDPS trials will be
conducted by CICR, Nagpur through SDA, SAUs, KVKs, etc. The HDPS
trials will be conducted to validate agronomic practices for rainfed agro-eco
regions of major cotton growing states to improve and sustain cotton yields
on marginal soils.
The pattern of assistance under different types of FLDs is given as under:

The critical inputs for FLD includes costs of seed (non-Bt), bio-
fertilizer, micronutrients, bio-pesticides, seeds of inter-crops, pheromone
traps/light traps etc. A part of FLD funds is earmarked as contingencies
for field day, publicity material, POL, visit of scientists etc. ICAR and SAUs
are also developing Bt Cotton seeds which will be cost effective to the
farmers, therefore, approved Bt Cotton Seeds of varieties / hybrids of
ICAR/SAUs can be used in FLDs on Cotton.
10.5 National / State Level Training
The National Level Training Programme will be organized by
DOCD/ICAR. For a training of 25 participants an assistance of Rs.80000
per training (3 days) will be provided. ICAR and DOCD may involve
SAUs/KVKs etc. in dissemination of technology to the scientists /
extension functionaries handling cotton.
The State Level Training (2 days) will be organized by SDA and the
number of trainees will be 20 for which an assistance of Rs.40000 per
training will be provided. The State level training may include extension
functionaries, cotton growers & other stake holders of cotton cultivation
including inputs dealers etc. The training is primarily for extension
workers, therefore, atleast 50% participants should be extension officials
from State Department. The item-wise break-up of national / state level
training is given as below.

Financial assistance of Rs. 500/ha or 50% of the cost, whichever is
less will be provided to SDA/ICAR for distribution of plant protection
chemicals & bio-agents. This will be on the lines of the incentives given as
applicable in other components of NFSM. General Council may however
consider higher support as cotton is more prone to insect attacks etc.
155 | P a g e
11. Jute & Allied Fibres Based Cropping Systems
Jute can be grown successfully in the cropping sequence with food
grain crops like rice, wheat and pulses and also pulses as inter-crop with
jute. Some of identified promising jute based sequences under rainfed
conditions are;
jute-lentil
jute-black gram
jute-black gram-wheat
jute-rice-toria
pulses as intercrop with jute
Under irrigated conditions, the promising crop sequences identified are
jute-rice-potato
jute-rice-lentil/pea
jute-rice-wheat
jute-rice-mustard
By adoption of these sequences, crop intensification and
diversification has significantly increased in the jute growing regions. The jute
based cropping system will be implemented in 9 states namely Andhra Pradesh,
Assam, Bihar, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Orissa, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh & West
Bengal. The components of the jute based cropping system and assistance are
given below:
11.1. Jute Seed Production
The production programme of foundation and certified seeds will be
undertaken for varieties (not older than 10 years) to ensure availability of
good quality seed in time and at a reasonable price. The production of
foundation and certified seeds of jute & allied fibres will be taken up by
different agencies like SDA, CRIJAF, NSC, SAU, ICAR, KVKs, etc. An
assistance of Rs. 12000/qtl will be provided to production of foundation
seed & Rs. 5500/qtl to production of certified seed. The implementing
agencies will submit a proposal for production of variety-wise foundation &
certified seeds. The incentives on production of Foundation Seed &
Certified Seed will be shared on 75:25 basis between farmers & seed
156 | P a g e
producing agencies in case when seeds are grown at farmers field. For the
production of foundation seed & certified seeds at own farm of the agency,
the incentives, will be considered as applicable in case of other components
like NFSM Pulses etc. The relaxation of age of jute varieties may be
considered by General Council of NFSM on proper justification & ground.
11.2 FLDs on alternate retting technologies
Retting is the most important factor determining the quality of fibre.
The whole retting technology is being practiced in India for which large
quantity of water is required. CRIJAF has developed two new retting
technologies, namely, mechano-microbial retting and in-situ retting with
microbial consortium and NIRJAFT has developed two technologies,
namely, chemical retting and dry retting. In order to reduce the bulk of the
crop to be retted vis-à-vis the requirement of water, the concept of ribbon
retting has been advanced. Accordingly, FLDs on newly developed retting
technologies will be undertaken by CRIJAF, NIRJAFT, SDA, SAUs, KVKs,
ICAR institutes. An assistance of Rs.20000/- per FLDs (Rs. 17,000 for
inputs & Rs. 3000 for contingency) will be provided for an area of 0.25 ha
(75% of the area for alternating retting technology and 25% for traditional
technologies) and it will be reduced on pro-rata basis for actual size of FLD
conducted.
11.3 FLDs on Production Technology / Intercropping
Production technology and intercropping demonstrations will be
conducted on jute & allied fibres through SDA/ICAR/etc. The location
specific improved technology on nutrient use efficiency, weed management,
efficient use of water, soil ameliorants, improved farm
implements/machines etc. will be demonstrated along with the newer
varieties ( not older than 10 years). The assistance of Rs. 9000/- per ha will
be provided of which Rs. 1000/- will be for contingencies, (field day,
publicity materials, POL, visit of scientists etc.) FLDs will be organized in
cluster of at least 10 hectares. For each farmer, at least 0.4 hectare area
will be included in a demonstration.
157 | P a g e
11.4 National / State Level Training
The National Level Training Programme on production and retting
technology of jute & allied fibres including other related aspects will be
organized by the CRIJAF, NIRJAFT, DOJD, ICAR. For a training of 25
participants, an assistance of Rs.80000 per training (3 days) will be
provided.
The State Level Training (2 days) will be organized by SDA and the
number of trainees will be 20 for which an assistance of Rs.40000 per
training will be provided. The item-wise break-up of national / state level
training will be same as provided under NFSM-Cotton.
11.5 Distribution of certified seeds, nail weeder & microbial consortium
For SDA/ICAR, an assistance of Rs. 100/kg or 50% of the cost,
whichever is less will be provided for distribution of certified seeds (not
older than 10 years), Rs. 1000/machine or 50% of the cost, whichever is
less will be provided for distribution of nail weeder and Rs. 25/kg or 50% of
the cost, whichever is less will be provided for distribution of microbial
consortium such as CRIJAF SONA and similar other approved microbial
formulation. The distribution of certified seeds, nail weeder & microbial
consortium will be primarily through state department of agriculture. ICAR
may involve other organization like SAUs/KVKs etc. for demonstration
purpose.
For distribution of Certified Seeds of Jute the State Department of
Agriculture (SDA) may involve National Seeds Corporation (NSC), State
Seed Corporation (SSC), Jute Corporation of India (JCI), NJB, state
government or cooperative institutes. General Council of NFSM may
however consider distribution of certified seeds of jute through NSC directly
through DAC&FW as NSC is already national level Central seed producing
agency approved by the government for Jute.

Revamped NFSM – Oilseeds & Oilpalm
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Vegetable Oil Scenario: Domestic consumption of edible oils has increased
substantially over the years and has touched the level of more than 25.41 million
tonnes in 2016-17 (Prov.), which is likely to increase further with enhancement in per
capita income and population. The production of domestic edible oils (10.75 million
tonnes in 2016-17 Prov.) has not been able to keep pace with the growth in
consumption and the gap between production and consumption is being met through
imports of 15.31 million tonnes with >Rs. 73048 crores (2016-17 Prov.).
1.2 Primary sources of vegetable oil:Nine oilseeds are the primary source of vegetable oils
in the country, which are largely grown under rainfed condition (70%) over an area of
about 26 million ha. Among these, soybean (34%), groundnut (27%), rapeseed &
mustard (27%) contribute more than 88% of total oilseeds production and >80% of
vegetable oils with major share of mustard (35%), soybean (23%) and groundnut (25%).
Primary source are producing 7.31 million tonnes of oils (2016-17)
1.3 Secondary sources of vegetable oil: In addition to nine oilseeds, 3.45 million tonnes of
vegetable oil is being harnessed from secondary sources like cottonseed, rice bran,
coconut, Tree Borne Oilseeds (TBOs) and Oil palm during 2016-17.
1.4 Oilseeds production scenario: The production and yield of oilseeds during 11th plan
was 28.93 million tonnes and 1082 kg/ha which is increased to 29.71 million tonnes
and 1122 kg/ha respectively during 12th plan period. The year-wise area, production
and productivity of oilseeds during last five years are given below.
Area, production and yield of oilseeds during last 05 years
(Area: million ha, Production: million tonnes Yield: Kg/ha)

26.49 29.71 1122
Average of
2007-12 (11th
Plan)
26.75 28.93 1082
It indicates an average increase of 4% in yield and 3% in production of oilseeds during
12th Plan Period over 11th Plan period. Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra are the major oilseed growing
states which contribute 76% production and 72% area coverage in the country but the productivity is less as compared to world average and Front Line Demonstrations (FLDs) yield indicate further scope of improvement.
176 | P a g e
1.5 Scenario of Oil Palm Cultivation:Oil Palm is a highest vegetable oil yielding perennial
crop than that of other oil seed crops. With quality planting material, irrigation and proper management, oil palm could produce 20-25 ton Fresh Fruit Bunches (FFBs) and 4-5 tonnes palm oil per ha on attaining the age of 8-9 years in comparison to maximum of 1 tonne oil per ha from rape seed & mustard In addition, oil palm has advantage of long life span of about 30 years. A substantial portion of our requirement of edible oil is met through import of palm oil from Indonesia and Malaysia. Any disruption in the supply of palm oil from these countries may place India in a very odd condition. More than 70% of our total vegetable oil import is palm oil.
An area of 19.33 lakh hectares has been identified in 18 states of the country as
suitable for oil palm cultivation. Oil palm cultivation started during 1975-76 in India
has shown good impact in terms of area coverage and yield of FFBs of oil palm. So far,
an area of 3.00 lakh ha has been covered under oil palm through various programmes
under erstwhile scheme NMOOP. The FFBs yields obtained by progressive farmers of
Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, under optimum cultural and irrigated conditions, are
between 20 and 25 tonnes per ha from fourth year onwards. The highest yield of 30-35
tonnes FFB ha /yr during the seventh year was also recorded in Andhra Pradesh.
1.6 Tree Borne Oilseeds (TBOs):The extraction of oils from TBOs has been a long tradition
in India. The forest dwellers and tribal people have been extracting oils from TBOs for
edible, medicinal and other uses. Sal, mahua, simarouba, kokum, olive and cheura are
being used as a source of edible fat/ oil. Besides, edible grade fat of sal, cheura,
mango kernel and kokum are exported for confectionary purposes. In addition,
karanja, jatropha, neem, jojoba, wild apricot, walnut and tung etc. are being used as a
source of non-edible / industrial oil. The Contribution of TBOs in vegetable oil is about
1.50 lakh tonnes.
1.7 Merger of NMOOP under NFSM: National Mission on Oilseeds & Oil Palm (NMOOP)
was launched in 2014-15 and continued upto 2017-18 to augment the availability of
vegetable oils and to reduce the import of edible oils by increasing the production and
productivity of oilseeds and area expansion of oil palm. The EFC meeting for
continuation of Umbrella Scheme ‘Krishonnati Yojana’ was held on 29.11.2017 under
the Chairmanship of Secretary, Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance. It has
been decided for merger/ conversions or linkage of Schemes/ sub-Schemes/
programmes, etc. having similar components such as incentive for seed,
demonstration, and farm implements including efficient water application tools covered
under NFSM and NMOOP. Therefore, NMOOP scheme has been merged with revamped
NFSM. Accordingly from 2018-19 onwards the existing NMOOP is being implemented
under NFSM as NFSM-Oilseeds & Oil palm comprising the sub components NFSM-
Oilseeds, NFSM-Oil Palm and NFSM-TBOs. The details of the guidelines of NFSM-
oilseeds & oil palm are described in subsequent chapters.
Oilseeds division of DAC&FW will implement the scheme and fund will be released to
the states under the ongoing head of account specified for NMOOP.

2. OBJECTIVES/TARGETS
NFSM-Oilseeds & Oil Palm:
To augment the availability of vegetable oils and to reduce the import of edible oils by
increasing the production and productivity of vegetable oils sourced from Oilseeds,
Oil palm and TBOs.
To increase production and productivity of oilseeds from an average production of
29.79 million tonnes and productivity of 1122 kg/ha obtained during 12th plan period
(2012-13 to 2016-17) to 36.10 million tonnes and 1290 kg/ha, respectively by end of
2019-20.
To achieve additional area of 1.05 lakh hectare under oil palm cultivation during
2017-18 to 2019-20 area over on and above current area of 3.15 lakh ha. (2016-17).
With this additional area total area of about 4.20 lakh ha, will be under oil palm
cultivation by 2020.
To cover an area of about 4800 ha under plantation of TBOs namely Olive, Mahua,
Kokum, Wild Apricot, Neem, Jojoba, Karanja, Simaroba, Tung, Cheura and Jatropha,
upto March, 2020.
3. STRATEGY
Although the country is surplus in food grain production excluding oilseeds but facing a
threat for crisis of water and soil health management due to cultivation of cereals after
cereals (paddy-wheat). Land being a limiting factor area expansion under any agricultural
crop will depend on economic viability of the crop. Front line demonstration conducted by
ICAR indicates an average yield gap of 40% - 50% in oilseeds with adoption of available
varieties / technologies. Therefore major emphasis will be laid on productivity improvement
of various oilseed crops. The broad strategies are suggested as under:
Increasing Seed Replacement Ratio (SRR) with focus on varietal replacement;
increasing irrigation coverage under oilseeds; diversification of area from low yielding
cereals crops to oilseeds crops; inter-cropping of oilseeds with cereals/ pulses/
sugarcane.
Productivity improvement by adoption of proven and climatic resilient technologies
like Ridge-Furrow/Broad-Bed-Furrow, water saving devices (sprinklers/rain gun),
zero tillage, inter-cropping, relay cropping, strategic application of micro-nutrient and
soil ameliorants.
Area expansion under oilseeds through diversification of low yielding food grain, use
of rice fallows area, and inter-cropping of oilseed crops with pulses and coarse cereals
and promotion of non-traditional states.
Popularisation of frontier technologies

5. FUNDING PATTERN & FUND FLOW
5.1 Sharing Pattern under NFSM-Oilseeds &Oil Palm between Central and State
Governments, will be in the ratio of 60:40 for general category of States and 90:10 for
North Eastern and Himalayan States. Few interventions like purchase of breeder
seeds by both State and Central seed producing agencies, supply of seed minikits to
the farmers through central seed producing agencies and production of foundation
and certified seeds, development of seed infrastructure at SAUs/KVKs farms, Front
Line / cluster demonstrations through ICAR/KVKs, R&D activities, kisan mela etc.
are 100% funding by Government of India.
The funds will be released to the implementing State Departments of
Agriculture / Horticulture. As far as possible, electronic banking under Public Fund
Management System (PFMS) will be used for transfer of funds to the State /Agencies.
The private sectors and NGOs could be involved through the State Departments of
Agriculture and Horticulture only. The Government of India will release the funds to
the implementing agencies for the directly funded components / activities at Central
level. The State Govt. will be responsible for release of 40% or 10% State share of the
allocation annually in the beginning of the financial year. Under this programme, no
permanent posts will be created by the Central or the State Governments.
5.2 Project Management Team (PMT): Up to 1% of the funds allocated under NFSM-
oilseeds and oil palm will be earmarked at national level to meet the contingency
expenditure including engagement of contractual manpower for monitoring of
implementation of the Mission. Under NFSM- Oilseeds & Oil palm the provision for
Technical Support Group (TSG), comprising 03 National Consultants, 05 Technical
Assistants, 03 Typist/ Data Entry Operator (DEO) and 02 MTS on contractual basis
will continue during the next three years. The basic qualification, experience,
honorarium of consultant, Technical Asstt./DEO/MTS is given in NFSM guidelines
Annexure-I (a) and Annexure-I (d).
PMT at state Level upto 3% of total allocation under NFSM-Oilseeds and Oil palm
will be provided for engaging state/district level consultant/Technical assistant and
DEO. The PMT will have the responsibility to ensure collaboration among various line
departments in the circle/state/district to achieve the target of oilseeds production
the appointment of technical manpower will be made on contract basis with the term
of reference laid down for the purpose of NFSMEC. The PMT will provide the
technical service/ advice. The basic qualification, experience, honorarium of
181 | P a g e
consultant, Technical Asstt. is given in NFSM guideline Annexure-I (a) and Annexure-
I (d).
5.3 Category of Fund Utilization: Majority of interventions like supply of seed/ planting
material, other inputs like soil ameliorants, micro-nutrients, bio-fertilizers, PP
chemicals, demonstration of improved technologies, PP equipments, farm implements
including sprinkler/drip irrigation are beneficiary oriented. The resources for
Scheduled Caste (16.6%) and Scheduled Tribe (8.6%) will be earmarked for utilization
under all the components of NFSM-OS & OP. However, States will be allowed to make
allocation to SC/ST farmers proportionate to their population in the States/Districts.
In addition, adoption of cluster approach is advocated for ensuring the participation
of all farmers belonging to small/marginal, SC/ST/minority/women categories in a
cluster. There is a provision for additional 10% assistance to Women farmers group
under supply of plant protection equipments and improved farm implements.
5.4 Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT): The scope of DBT has since widened to cover all
Centrally Sponsored Schemes, where benefits (in cash or kind) are transferred to
individual beneficiaries. DBT Mission established under the Cabinet Secretariat has
laid down 31st March, 2017 as the time line for transition of all agriculture scheme to
DBT mode.
It is therefore compulsory to execute the schemes and programmes in the light
of expanded scope of DBT and plan transition of the scheme to DBT mode.
NFSM-OS&OP shall utilize PFMS portal of Controller General of Accounts.
Ministry of Finance for entering their Aadhar seeded beneficiary data with immediate
effect.
Till the centrally sponsored schemes are on-boarded through respective IT
platform, ‘Aadhaar seeded beneficiary data’ needs to be obtained from states and
forwarded to DBT Mission on a monthly basis.
The DBT portal link of NFSM-OS&OP is http://nfsm.gov.in/nfmis/NM_Login.aspx.
5.5 Flexi fund: The states will be allowed to utilize 10% of the Plan budget of NFSM-
OS&OP as flexi-fund to meet the following objective:
(i) To provide flexibility to States to meet local needs and requirement within the overall
objective of NFSM-OS&OP.
(ii) To pilot innovations and improved efficiency within the overall objective of the
Scheme and its expected outcomes;
(iii) To undertake mitigation/restoration activities in case of natural calamities in the
oilseeds sector.
182 | P a g e
(iv) Support for oil extraction unit through FPOs/ KVKs/ Institutions/ Cooperatives/
SAUs/.
(v) Release of flexi-funds would be made on a pro-rata basis along with normal releases
of NFSM-OS&OP. Outcomes and outputs need to be part of MIS along with
pictures/images and good practices to ensure greater transparency and cross
learning across States. Evaluation of flexi-funds would be done through the
proposed evaluation process of NFSM-OS&OP.

8. INTERVENTIONS
8.1 NFSM – Oilseeds
Under restructured programme, all the interventions suitable for integrated farming
system depending on the climatic conditions and natural resource base for optimizing
farm returns in a sustainable manner have been included. The components have
been classified broadly in three broad categories namely, Seed Components,
Production Components and Transfer of Technology. The allocation of funds to the
States would be made on the basis of their Annual Action Plan (AAP) for which the
percentage of funds under various activities would be as under:

Total 100
8.1.1 Seed component
The production of seed is time-consuming, cost intensive and risky under rainfed
conditions in which oilseeds are grown. The planning for anticipated requirement of
Breeder seeds is done in advance to produce Foundation and Certified seeds in
subsequent generations. Therefore, the chain of the quality seeds production begins
from Breeder seeds. The high seed volume crops of groundnut, soybean and
Rapeseed & Mustard need strategic planning for Breeder seeds production to meet
the certified seed requirements. The popularity of hybrids seeds in sunflower, castor
and safflower also require maintenance of parental material and special techniques
for hybrids seed production.
8.1.1.1 Purchase of Breeders seeds / parental lines (hybrid seed):
The breeder seeds are produced by the breeder of the organizations such as
ICAR/SAUs/KVKs etc. Under NFSM Oilseeds support will be provided for purchase of
186 | P a g e
breeder seed from ICAR/SAUs etc. by the Central/State Seed Agencies at the full cost
of breeder seeds as fixed by the Seeds Division of DAC & FW. The Department of
Agriculture of the State Government will however, reimburse 100% cost of breeder
seeds as per cost norms mentioned in Annexure I (a), for the approved targets
included under AAPs of the states, to the agencies like SAUs/KVKs/State Seed
Corporation/ Federations etc.
8.1.1.2 Production of Foundation and Certified seeds
Assistance will be provided limited to Rs. 2500/quintal for all varieties/hybrids
released during the last 10 years with additional assistance of Rs.100/qtl on the
varieties/hybrids released in the last 5 years. 75% of the subsidy amount is meant for
farmers and 25% for the seed producing agencies for meeting expenditure towards
certification & production etc. The support will be provided to i) States’ Department of
Agriculture (SDAs)/ State Seeds Corporations (SSCs) at State level under AAP of the
State and to ii) NSC/NAFED/KRIBHCO/IFFCO/IFFDC/Central Multi-State
Cooperatives such as NCCF/ Hindustan Insecticides Limited (HIL) or other agency
approved by the National Food Security Mission General Council (NFSMGC)as central
nodal agency at national level, based on the approved Plan for these agencies at
Central level. The age relaxation for particular variety/hybrids will require approval of
NFSMGC.
8.1.1.3 Distribution of Certified Seeds
Financial assistance at the rate of 50% of the cost limited to Rs.4000/- per quintal for
varieties/composites of all oilseeds except sesame and Rs. 8000/- per quintal for
hybrids of oilseeds and varieties of sesame which are not older than 15 years. The
support will be provided to i) SDAs/ SSCs at State level under AAP of the State and to
ii) NSC/NAFED/KRIBHCO/ IFFCO/IFFDC/ HIL/Central Multi-State Cooperatives
such as NCCF based on the approved plan for these agencies at Central level. The
support for particular variety/hybrids may be decided by NFSMEC. SHGs/
FIGs/FPOs/Women groups/Co-operatives etc. could also be involved by the States in
distribution of certified seeds. Subsidized Certified seed distribution should be done
only through own outlets/dealers of Nodal Agencies subject to a ceiling of 5 ha area
per farmer for all crops of oilseeds.
Subsidy assistance would be available to only such organizations and for such
varieties /hybrids whose production, certification and availability is ensured through
the website of DAC&FW.
8.1.1.4 Distribution of Minikit
The latest released / pre-release varieties/hybrids not older than 10 years are
popularized through distribution of seed minikits free of cost to the farmers. The
agencies like NSC/HIL/KRIBHCO/NAFED/IFFCO/IFFDC/Central Multi-state
Cooperatives such as NCCF/SSCs etc. will be involved in supply of seed minikit at
187 | P a g e
national level. Seed Minikits will be allocated and supplied to all farmers in
contiguous area of at least 25 ha and each seed minikit will contain 20 kg seed for
groundnut, 8 kg seed for soybean, 2 kg seed of each rapeseed & mustard, sunflower,
safflower, linseed, castor and at least 10 ha one kg seed each of sesame and niger.
The price of seed minikit will be fixed by the NFSM Mission Director at National level
and 100 % cost would be reimbursed to the agencies on certification of receipt by the
state. The allocation of seed minikit will also be approved by the NFSM-EC before
commencement of Kharif/Rabi/Summer seasons.
The cut off dates of delivery of Seed Minikits consignment by the Central Agencies
to reach the destination is 15th May, for Kharif season, 1st September for Rabi
Season, 1st October for TRFA Rabi season and 31st January for Summer season.
Bill submission date for Kharif before 10th May, 15th October for Rabi season &
TRFA, and 10th February for Summer season.
The State Government should acknowledge the receipt of consignment from the
central agencies with name, designation, seals of the Department of Agriculture
and hand over the same to the representative of the central agencies so that they
may submit their bills to the Division for re-imbursement.
The state Government should ensure no tax on transport of seed minikits by the
central agency for the state interest.
The required leaflets on cultural practices should be kept in the seed Minikits
along with Rhizobium/PSB culture wherever it is required in the respective seed
packet of Minikits. The cultural practices should be printed in Hindi, English and
local languages for the respective states.
The agencies should deliver the consignment upto District headquarters level of the
respective State Governments, beyond which the distribution of Seed Minikits
should be taken care by the State Department of Agriculture.

8.1.1.5 Seed hubs
The National Seed Corporation and State Seed Corporations are primarily, responsible
for producing and supplying of seeds of oilseeds. In order to supplement these agencies,
seed hubs will be created at selected KVKs/SAUs and institutes of ICAR through IIOR,
Hyderabad. These seed hubs will have seed processing and seed storage facilities. Each
seed hub will take up seed production of oilseeds through farmers and will buy back the
produce from the farmers from its revolving fund. Financial assistance to these seed
hubs will be as per NFSM-Pulses seed hub as follows:
Each seed hub will be given one time grant up to Rs. 50 lakh for creating seed
processing and storage facilities.
One time revolving fund upto Rs. 1.00 crore will be given to each seed hub. The
revolving fund will be kept in a separate bank account and this fund will be recouped
from sale proceeds of seeds.
8.1.1.6 Seed Infrastructure Development
Financial assistance upto 50% assistance of the cost for creation of seed
infrastructure including threshing floor, seed storage godowns with the provision for
de-humidification, irrigation facilities including tube wells/bore wells, motor pumps,
sprinklers, excluding drip, lining of channels, levelling of fields, fencing on the farms,
electrification of office building, farm machinery etc at State Government/State Seed
Corporation (SSC) farms engaged in seeds/planting material production for the
Mission crops and upto 75 % GOI support for farms of Central Seed Producing
Agencies like NSC and 100 % for SAUs/KVKs under NFSM-Oilseeds. The seed
infrastructure development proposals of Department of Agriculture of the State
Government must be sent by the respective Mission Directors to DAC&FW separately
supported by estimates and construction plans as per the latest schedule of rates of
State PWD. This component will not be implemented without the prior and specific
approval of the NFSMEC.
8.1.1.7 Seed Storage bins/ Seed Treatment drums
Farmers often use farm saved seeds, which deteriorates, if they are not stored with
adequate care and safety. Considering the importance of farm saved seeds and need
to store them properly, it is proposed to distribute seed bins to oilseeds growers
189 | P a g e
under the Mission. The support will be provided to the farmers @ 25% of the cost
limited to a maximum of Rs.1000/- per bin of 1 to 10 quintals capacity. Only one bin
per farmer is to be provided.
Seed treatment is of paramount importance, particularly, in case of farm saved seeds.
Programme envisages 100% treatment of seeds with fungicides, insecticides and bio-
fertilizers of all oilseed crops. In order to encourage the farmers for seed treatment the
use of seed treating drums will be promoted under the Mission. The support will be
provided to the farmers for seed treatment
Drums of 20 Kg and 40 Kg capacity @ 50% of the cost limited to Rs.1750/- and Rs.
2000/- per unit respectively.
8.1.2 Demonstrations, FFS and Training
Training, demonstrations, publicity etc. have proven effective instruments in
developing technical aptitude in farmers and extension functionaries involved in
agriculture. The technology generated through ICAR/SAUs/KVKs and other R&D
organizations for achieving higher productivity in oilseeds cultivation needs to be
disseminated effectively among the farmers. Provision has been made this
programme to support effective transfer of technology in oilseeds cultivation.
8.1.2.1 Cluster Demonstrations by States
Demonstration of improved package of practices will be organized by the Department
of Agriculture of the State Government as per the targets approved in Annual Action
Plan (AAP) of the State, 50% of the cost of critical inputs like seed, seed treatment,
micronutrients, organic/bio agents, organic/bio fertilizers, eco friendly light traps etc,
at the rate, as proposed in the table below:
Crop Assistance (Rs./ha)

R&M/ Niger with Bee Keeping 5000*
*For promotion of Beekeeping under NFSM-Oilseeds, assistance to the farmer is
admissible @ Rs. 2000/-ha for hiring of bee colonies from bee keepers/entrepreneurs
over and above the cost limit of cluster demonstration i.e. Rs. 3000/-per ha for R&M,
Niger and Rs. 4000/- per ha for sunflower.
All demonstrations should be integrated, demonstrating the impact of seeds and
other technologies together. There shall be no separate demonstration for separate
technologies. Demonstrations should be organized in cluster mode with a contiguous
area of 50 ha in a village/villages/block except hilly regions/terrains, where the size
190 | P a g e
of the cluster should not be less than ten ha. One demonstration will be allowed to
one farmer with a ceiling of one ha under each crop. The assistance will be on pro-
rata basis with the reduction in area as per availability of land with individual farmer.
The Department of Agriculture of the State Governments will be required to prepare

Besides, it is observed that input dealers (seeds, pesticides, fertilizers, machinery etc) are also important source of information to the farmers. It is felt that extension officials and input dealers need to be trained and made aware of the new technologies and developments in oilseeds cultivation so that they communicate the same to the farmers to come in their contacts. Support will be provided @ Rs. 900/- per participant per day for a batch of 20 participants of extension officials and input dealers for organizing orientation/refresher training. ICAR could also organize such training to them provided that is included in their FLD Annual Action Plan.
